First set total games - 9.5: OVER +125 UNDER -175

I don't get this line.

First off, does an under to this total not imply a player's serve will be broken twice in one set?

Second, plus money for the over at this line?

Maybe i'm missing something obvious here, but the liklihood of it going to a tie break is just as good if not better than a 6-3 1st set win?!!??

You can have your serve broken only once, and the score could be 6-3.

yea, youre right.

nonetheless...does this, at plus money, not seem like a decent wager?

There's a lot of tricky props in these big matches. TryTryTry and I were just talking about this last month in a PM. Here are a couple of other tricky prop bets...

Tough one, Cho. It very well might go to a tiebreak, but 6-3 is a very common 1st set score. I thought for sure the 1st set in the Fish-Nadal match would go to a tiebreak. It ended up being 6-3 Nadal.

I know what you're saying, though.

t3, you think Nadal will win the 3rd set? Djok returns everything raffi throws at him. nadal can't break djok's serve...

i hope you're right for entertainment but raffi looks really outmatched in this one

Match is far from over, though. All it takes is a couple of big mistakes from Djokovic in this set, and we go to a fourth set. I've seen it happen plenty of times. But, obviously, Djokovic is in a good position right now.

a match of breaks. total game over players will be uber pissed as it looks like 4 sets won't be enough to get 40+ games.
